    In honour of Sir Ernest's remarkable 800 nautical mile voyage across the Southern Ocean, from Elephant Island to South Georgia, and his crossing of its mountainous interior, the Shackleton Epic expedition will sail Alexandra Shackleton - a purpose-built, exact replica of Shackleton's 22.5-foot (6.9m) lifeboat, James Caird - across the same stretch of open ocean and then attempt to cross the rugged peaks of South Georgia.
    It will be interesting to see if the hard men of today are anyway close to the hard men of yesteryear :) Here is a link to the website.

    Been tried before in the last 20 years [can't remember how old I was] They ended up having to Scuttle the boat and finish it in the chase boat
